TROY, N.Y. (AP) - The New York Army National Guard will be conducting forest fire training by using helicopters to scoop up large amounts of water from the Hudson River near Albany.          

National Guard officials say two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters will conduct the training late Tuesday morning just south of the Menands Bridge linking Albany County and Troy.          

The helicopters will use buckets slung under the aircraft to scoop up water and drop it back into the river.          

The buckets can hold up to 660 gallons of water on forest fires. The training is part of an annual requirement to prepare to fight forest fires in support of other state agencies.          

ALBANY - The state Offices of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced that it will create smoke-free areas in outdoor settings in state parks and historic sites. This will include places where large numbers of people congregate like playgrounds and pools.

The new policy will create smoke-free areas around all playgrounds, swimming pools and other zones that are specifically designated as no-smoking areas. Specific swimming beaches or areas of swimming beaches; pavilions and picnic shelters; outdoor seating areas that are nearby food and beverage concessions; areas where outdoor environmental education programs are held; or public gardens may be included in the new policy.
